Author's Notes: I will now start an author's reply section for those who comment. But I won't reply to the ones that say " Please update!" or just " update" because I can't really reply to those kinds. But I will thank you though.

I will not accept flames however if you do, I will merely laugh at your poor rant while slowly sipping my lemon tea in content.

I accept constructive criticism however.

Well, enjoy! :)

" Then I said... Hey are you sure you're okay?" Ichigo jumped and waved sleepily to his suspicious friend.

" I said was fine." He slurred before yawning again. Truth be told, Ichigo barely got any sleep last night. Mainly because he couldn't stop thinking about Toushiro. His finger healing, the vampire thing, the finger felloti... He blushed while glancing down at his index finger.

He still couldn't get over the fact that Toushiro was actually a vampire. He didn't know if he should tell anyone but maybe it isn't a wise choice to blab about it. Toushiro looked like one that wouldn't hesitate to kill. And speaking of killing, if the boy is a blood-sucker, then what about his thirst for blood? Is he immune to the sun? Can he turn into a bat? All these un-answered questions gave the red-head a small headache.

" Hey Ichigo. It's the new kid! He must have this class as well." Renji stated. At the mention of " new kid", Ichigo looked up and felt his heart pounding hard in his chest. Yup. It was him. He watched as the boy made his way into a seat next to him and pull out a book. Ichigo couldn't help but stare. A vampire, harmlessly reading a book right under everyone's nose. And no one knew except him.

And that was their little bond.

His breath hitched when the other caught his stare before returning a suggestive smirk and going back to his book. Leaving Ichigo to fight down the heat that crept up his neck. Such little gestures could actually have him in a feat if heatness. What a shame. But it seemed as though Toushiro thoroughly enjoys teasing him.

The sound of the teacher's clapping interrupted his thoughts and he forced himself to look at the black board.

Because Toushiro is just too damn distracting.

...

* plop *

This woke up a half-asleep half-bored Ichigo and he looked down at the crumbled piece of paper before looking around to see any signs of owner ship. When he didn't see any, he frowned and quietly uncrumbled the paper and read-

"My my, you seem to be a blushing mess whenever you're around me."

Ichigo immediately knew who this came from and wrote down his response with a slight tinge of pink on his face. When he watched the teacher turn back around to face the board, he tossed the paper back to the owner. Glancing at his side he watched as the other unravel the piece of paper.

"Maybe it's because you seem to be the cause of it."

It was a moment later when the paper was back on Ichigo's desk. The teen eagerly opened the paper up and smiled at the comment.

" Are you trying to flatter me?"

Ichigo quickly wrote down his response and waited for the right moment to pass the crumbled ball back.

" Maybe I am."

The bell rang at the same moment, much to the carrot-top's disappointment to see the other's response. He picked up his bag and let his eyes travel towards the white-haired boy who was bending down to put his belongings into his back. Hazel-nut eyes wandered down to gaze at the other's ass. His mouth watered but his staring was cut short when Toushiro turned around and gave him a flirtatious smile.

" Being bold aren't we?" He was caught. Ichigo watched the other exit just like that, leaving him to blink stupidly.

What had he done?

...

" Ichigo! Do you wanna try my new desert? I tried this time with beans, mint, whip cream, and lots of suger!"

" Erm, no thanks Orihime." Ichigo didn't have time to eat and empty the vile contents out his mouth right now. In fact he was slightly hoping to see the Toushiro kid again after school. He watched everyone laugh and talk while stuffing their faces. It was still so ironic that everyone is so oblivious to the fact that a blood sucker is in this school. Maybe even more is in the school in secret!

The red-head eyed his friends suspiciously. It could maybe even be one of them as well. No, he's just being paranoid. And speaking of that, he knew last night's activity was real and it wasn't a dream. Those cat like eyes were real. And he wanted to talk to the owner about them.

...

It was soon time to go home but Ichigo stuck around while pretending to his homework, which caused his sensei to give him a strange look. His teacher left with a shrug and Ichigo sighed before leaning back into his chair. He was still tired but he had to stay awake to get the chance to speak with the little devil. Is it alright to call him that? It was ten minutes later when Ichigo decided to call it quits and just speak with him tomorrow. Unfortunately, that is going to lead to even more questions and headaches. Why, of all people, did he have to go through this?

After walking out the empty room he began his way down the hall. It was stupid of him to think that Toushiro would come again. Oh well. His movements stopped when a sudden feeling almost knock him off his feet. It was starting to cool? That can't be right. It is still around the last month of summer. A sudden feeling of a presence began to make him uneasy. What is going on-

" Why are you just standing there?" Ichigo yelped and fell on his butt while looking up at a half-surprised Toushiro who looked back down at him.

" I-It's you... I wanted to talk to you but you never showed up!"

" I'm sorry. I don't remember agreeing to doing such a thing."

Ichigo blinked and realized he was the stupid one. Of course it all makes sense now. He could have asked to meet up with the vampire after-school, because who knew if detention and after-school working is a one-time thing?

" O-oh right. Sorry..."

" But you wanted to speak to me about something?" Ichigo watched the other offer a hand and he grabbed it while muttering a " thanks ". His hand felt so... cold.

" Yeah. But it's going to take a while."

" Go on."

The two began their walk out the almost deserted school building and Ichigo began his series of questions.

" So you said you were a vampire right?"

" I did."

" Are you... immune to the sun?"

" ... Take a guess." Ichigo blinked and looked up to see the half setting sun shining on them. A little weird but there is his answer. This isn't what his teachers taught him. Now on to question two.

" Can you like, turn into a bat? I-I read it in a book once and it-"

" No."

" Oh. So it was just a lie?"

" You humans create some of the most bizarre things. Just because we and bats have sharp teeth doesn't mean we are in any way related."

" Hey. Blame my science and reading teacher. How was I supposed to know."

" I despise all of you beings."

" E-Eh!? Even me? What did I do?" Ichigo stopped when the other did and swallowed when intense green eyes looked into his own brown ones, possibly his soul.

" You are a different case Kurosaki. But I still hate everyone for their false accusations."

" Erm. Right. Well at least I'm innocent right?" Ichigo said with a smile to try to lighten up the tense atmosphere. His stomach did a flip-flop when the other gave a small smile.

" I supose so."

They resumed their walking and Ichigo returned to his questionnaire.

" Toushiro?"

" Hitsugaya."

" Yeah whatever. Do you suck blood?"

" ..."

" Toushiro-"

" It's better if you don't know."

" So you do!"

" That isn't what I said."

" So what then?"

" Did you tell anyone about me yet?" This time, Ichigo stopped and the other followed.

" Well I didn't. Why?" The other sighed and looked away.

" Why didn't you? Aren't you scared of me?" Ichigo blinked before laughing as Toushiro gave him a confused look.

" Of course I'm not scared. In fact, I even consider you as friend." The other's eyes widened at his statement before smiling and muttering something that sounded and awful lot like " idiot" before walking ahead. Ichigo felt a vein throb as he ran to catch up with Toushiro.

" Oi! I'm not an idiot!"

Minutes later and Ichigo found himself saying goodbye as they had reached the white-haired boy's house. He didn't want the day to end yet. Not when he was having this much fun.

" I guess we'll talk tomorrow then, Toushiro?" The other nodded and looked up at him. Ichigo was wondering if the other was thinking and twitched when Toushiro walked closer and leaned up towards. He was going to kiss him.

Ichigo watched as a pair of soft lips reached in front of his face. Before he could close the gap, Toushiro leaned in and planted them on his cheek before walking to the front door. The carrot-top blinked stupidly and numbly waved goodbye as the other gave a playful smirk and closed the door. That tease.

But nonetheless he came back home with a big smile on his face.

Even though the other was a vampire that happened to tease Ichigo a lot with suggestive gestures, he found himself feeling light and almost carefree. He liked Toushiro. No. He loved Toushiro. And why?

He didn't know.

...

The sound of a bag dropping on the ground caused a shift of movement. And within a second, Toushiro's face was squished against a pair of enormous boobs.

" Matsumoto..." His muffled voice warned but it only seemed to make him suffocate even more.

" Hiii Toushiro-kun! How was school!? Tell me tell me tell me!"

" Get off!"

" Aw fine." Toushiro glared at the unfazed woman while trying to regain his breath. A tall figure came by as well.

" Ne Rangiku-san. If ya keep huggin' the kid, you'll kill him someday."

" But I can't help it if he's the size of a teddy bear." Feeling a little annoyed, Toushiro sat on the couch while taking out his homework. He lived with his step-sister, Rangiku Matsumoto, and her boyfriend, Gin Ichimaru. His step sister happened to be a vampire as well while her boyfriend was a human. This broke the rule of being a blood-sucker and could seriously jeaprodize their lives. However, the two lived on in secret. The reason why he was living with the couple is because during the times his father lived with his mother and step-mother, both women were raped and then murdered. Unfortunately during the time with his real mom, his father was too drunk to use protection and so he came to be. He didn't know the reason why his mom was killed but he knew that he could never forgive his so called dad to hurting the mother figures. But why his mothers didn't just suck his blood dry is beyond him.

" So Toushiro, did you meet anyone special yet?" Matsumoto egged on while playing with the said boy's hair.

" He isn't special and stop playing with my hair."

" Haa? It's a guy? What's he like?"

" Don' get any funny ideas Rangiku-san." Matsumoto giggled and hugged Gin with a seductive look.

" You know I could never replace anyone with you." Toushiro gave a disgusted look at the lovey-dovey scene before him and decided to work in his room. Ichigo is right when he said he had annoying siblings. In this case, Matsumoto that is.

He stopped writing his essay. Despite the fact that Ichigo is just a mere human, he began to develope feeling for him. Toushiro knew it was against the Vampire Law but Ichigo was just so... different from the rest. He sighed. Here he is acting like some love-struck highschool girl. This is no time to be thinking longingly of Ichigo. With that, he got back to his homework.
